A man ordered a length of rope by telephone from his nearest hardware shop. But when a worker in the shop brought the rope, he found that the man on the telephone had miswritten the order by in-terchanging feet and inches. As a result of this, the length of rope received was only 30% of the length he had ordered. The length of the rope which the man ordered was between 6 ft a n d 7 1/2ft b. 7 1/2ft a n d 9 ft c. 9 ft a b n d 10 1/2ft d. 10 1/2ft a n d 12 ft
